Gin Gin Child and Family Support
About us
The Gin Gin Child and Family Support Service is an exciting initiative funded jointly by Bundaberg Regional Council and Department of Education and Training, Early Childhood Education and Care. We assist families in acquiring and developing effective, sustainable parenting skills to use toward enhancing positive and rewarding outcomes for parents.
Gin Gin Child and Family Support Service is located at the Gin Gin Neighbourhood Centre and provides services and a variety of programs which are also supported from the Council run premises at 4 Dear Street, Gin Gin.
This service is a local service and is available on request to families with children aged between 0 and 8 years. If you are feeling isolated, in crisis, needing extra support or information on issues relating to families, the Early Years and Family Support Worker can speak with you by phone, at the centre or in your own home/service. All services are free and confidential.
The newsletter featuring great tips and hints on Childcare and Family Support, can now be found inside the Gin Gin Neighbourhood Centre news. It also has information on meetings and events in the Gin Gin area.
